Discussion on: A Beginner's Guide on Creating a Portfolio Website with Github and Gatsby

[jvmvl]

I think the problem is in :

"clean": "del -f \"../!(gatsby)*\" && rm -rf public"

So my question is does it work on windows?

[Aivan Monceller]

Oh I don't think it will on the command line, have you tried from git bash / wsl / cygwin / mingw on windows?

[jvmvl]

Just tried it with git bash and it didn't work

[Aivan Monceller]

I'll check on Windows and get back to you

[jvmvl]

Great thanks

[Aivan Monceller]

Hi you can try this on windows git bash I have modified the script

{
  "clean": "del-cli -f \"../!(gatsby)*\" && rm -rf public && rm -rf .cache",
  "build": "npm run clean && gatsby build && cp -a public/* ../",
}

[jvmvl]

Tested using git bash

$ npm run build

portfolio-website-gatsby@1.0.0 build **\jvmvl.github.io\gatsby
npm run clean && gatsby build && cp -a public/ ../

portfolio-website-gatsby@1.0.0 clean **\jvmvl.github.io\gatsby
del-cli -f "../!(gatsby)" && rm -rf public && rm -rf .cache

success open and validate gatsby-configs — 0.005 s
success load plugins — 0.169 s
error Plugin gatsby-transformer-sharp returned an error

You can try, Deleting node_modules, .cache, public then do

npm cache clean --force
npm install

If its still not working on your machine for some reason, then install sharp manually

npm install sharp --unsafe-perm
